What color is Sherwin Williams Valentine?
Sherwin Williams Valentine SW 6587 is a medium-deep red with a noticeable rosy berry cast, based on its #a53a4e color value. Its strong saturation gives it presence without reading as a pure primary red, while the blue influence keeps the color from looking overly orange. In bright daylight, Valentine can appear clearer and more red-forward; lower or warmer lighting tends to bring out its deeper wine-like side. It makes a confident choice for a dining room, powder room, front door, or a single accent wall, and can also bring character to painted cabinetry. Pair it with soft warm whites, charcoal, aged brass, dark wood, or pale blush-toned neutrals for contrast that lets the red remain the focal point.

LRV of Valentine
Valentine has an LRV of 11.55% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 11.55%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
